INDIA-BRITAIN-WWI-HISTORY-CENTENARY
TO GO WITH India-Britain-WWI-history-centenary,FOCUS by Annie BANERJI
In this photo taken on October 28, 2014, the main inscription on the India Gate monument, originally called the All India War Memorial and built by the British Raj to honour the Indian Army dead during the First World War, is pictured in New Delhi. The inscription reads "To the dead of the Indian armies who fell honoured in France and Flanders Mesopotamia and Persia East Africa Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east and in sacred memory also of those whose names are recorded and who fell in India or the north-west frontier and during the Third Afgan War". As Britain and her allies prepare to mark the end of World War I, former colony India will largely ignore commemorations despite losing tens of thousands of soldiers in the conflict.
